Title: Shame of the Game Buffalo Post by: Denver2 on November 03, 2024, 04:02:51 pm Raheem Mostert
Title: Re: Shame of the Game Buffalo Post by: Downunder Dolphan on November 03, 2024, 07:40:56 pm From the NFL highlights package:
Mostert was having a pretty good game up until that fumble - his Sammie Smith moments of coughing up the ball at the most inconvenient times are becoming disturbing. That said, I think there were bigger culprits today on the defensive side of the ball. Fuller had a stinker. It was good to see Chop Robinson finally register his first sack, but the offside penalty on 3rd and 14 was a really bad rookie mistake, leading to... My shame of the game goes to Poyer for the helmet to helmet hit that kept the Bills drive going with 46 seconds remaining, leading to their winning field goal. You just can't do that in the NFL now, and that one stupid mistake took us from forcing them to punt and having a shot at winning the game to never getting the ball back.

Totally a fair decision and assessment Title: Re: Shame of the Game Buffalo Post by: dolphins4life on November 03, 2024, 11:09:51 pm Poyer gets it for sure for that penalty.
Also, the defense. They were atrocious in the second half. Title: Re: Shame of the Game Buffalo Post by: Dave Gray on November 04, 2024, 08:09:07 am I gotta go with Poyer, also. I really didn't see a path to winning that game for us. Our best shot was when the ball got popped up in the air and an INT late could've sealed it. But short of that, Buffalo was going to drive the field if they had time and only needed a FG. That helmet to helmet was just horribly timed and the player had dropped the ball already. It's bang-bang, but you just can't lead with the helmet and it completely bailed them out. I still don't know if we win the game if he doesn't do that, but man...brutal.
